Combination of EPCs and cytokines or pretreatment.
| Cytokine or pretreatment | Approach | Effect |
| FGF-2/PDGF-BB | Combined transplantation | EPC migration ↑ | SDF-1α/VEGF | Combined transplantation | EPC apoptosis ↓ | SDF-1α + VEGF | Combined transplantation | EPC survival ↑, angiogenesis ↑ | FGF-2/G-CSF | Combined transplantation | Angiogenesis ↑ | TPO + SCF + IL-3 | Combined transplantation | EPC proliferation ↑, apoptosis ↓ | SDF-1α | Coincubation | Angiogenesis ↑ | Nanoparticle | Carrying cytokines | EPC function ↑ | Gene transduction | Overexpressing cytokines | EPC function ↑ | Ischemic preconditioning | Increasing VEGFR2 expression | Angiogenesis ↑ |
